There is something so beautiful about a maternity shoot taking place at a castle filled with snow. It was a snowy and chilly January but that didn’t stop this sweet couple from venturing out. I love when couples are all about capturing photos outdoors, even if its during the dead of winter. Outdoor shoots in the snow can be very beautify! For more information on my maternity sessions please contact me. I offer both on location and indoor shoots.
Studio Newborn Photography | Best time for Portraits | Cleveland Photographer
I’m sure you have heard many times, they grow so fast! “Don’t blink, they’ll be driving soon”. Well, unfortunately that is very true. If you do blink you might miss something. I’m not saying this to scare or pressure you into anything. But time seems to move so very quickly from the moment you found out you’re expecting to the time they are graduating.
Newborn portraits shouldn’t be any different. I always stress to many of my families that these are time sensitive photos. Its so hard to believe they change a lot in that first month. But they really do! You only realize it when you look back on those first couple weeks of photos.
I recommend newborn photos to be done anytime from day 5 to day 15 of life. I am more than happy to photograph anytime after that. However, the photos may be a little different. Babies are more awake and its not as easy to wrap and squish inside bowls, lol.
My summer newborn calendar is filling fast. If you are thinking about portraits, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to have a phone consult with you and discuss the process of my newborn photography:)

Lifestyle Newborn Session | On-Location Shoot | Cleveland, Ohio | Newborn Photographer
You may have heard the term “lifestyle newborn shoot” but never really understood what it was. So what if a lifestyle shoot?? In basic terms, it really means unposed more candid type photos that usually take place in your own home. A Lifestyle newborn session involves creating more artistic and candid type photos instead of staged poses. Examples are being cradled in a parent's arms, or sleeping in a bassinet or cot. Lifestyle newborn photos appear natural and “unstaged”. I usually like to have the session flow naturally and organically while shooting in your home, nursery and master bedroom. Even though I do love these photos so much the benefits of choosing my style of photography is I offer both lifestyle and prop photos of the newborn. I have found over the years parents still want a combination of both photos. And that is exactly what I offer!
I bring some props, swaddles and my beanbag for a few of the traditional newborn poses then I move onto the lifestyle session. I truly believe its a nice blend of both worlds.
If you are interested in booking a newborn shoot, I highly recommend booking while you’re still pregnant. The photos should take place anytime from day 5 to day 15 of life and my calendar fills up in advance.

Baby Teagan | Bump to Baby Photography | Mentor, Ohio
This is such an exciting time in your life! From the moment you realize “I’m expecting” to the day your little one is born. When looking back this will be one of the most special and treasured moments of your life. I’m happy to offer the Bump to Baby Package in order to capture each moment. This package consists of 3 shoots, maternity, newborn and baby’s first birthday! When booked all together there is a significant cost savings as opposed to booking alone. If you already know or think you might want all 3 sessions, I recommend doing the package. The payments are not due until each session occurs, but its a great way to lock in your photographer. I often book up quickly but with the bump to baby package, you are guaranteed a spot on my calendar for each session. That way you can sit back and relax knowing all these special moments will be captured for you!

Now offering "Smash" & "Splash" First Birthday Portraits | Cleveland, Ohio
I am so excited to finally be offering both “Smash and Splash” Portraits for baby’s first birthday. The smash cake photos are always oh so cute but the clean up isn't always fun. So now your little one gets a quick bubble bath after the messy cake. The tub is made for milestone photography and features a small claw foot tub. A couple tips to remember about the smash cake session. Not all babies dive in and love to eat the cake. It may be beneficial to allow the baby to sample some sweets prior to the session. Sometimes the cake and textures isn’t always appealing to the baby. If this does happen I always make the best of it and still manage to get some great portraits. After that, clean up is a breeze with a warm bubble bath. The splash photos can be a quick add on if you would like with the milestone portraits.
Please reach out for more information and pricing.
